In To Save America, Rep. Newt Gingrich shares his personal experiences in the Washington D.C. politi

If you are conservative and pro-limited government you will enjoy Newt Gingrich's book which is full of detailed knowledge about the legislative branch. He explains how the Senate and House of Representatives function in Washington D.C. in relation to each other. Gingrich also discusses about the executive branch (president and federal departments and agencies). He writes in an interesting and well-organized manner. Gingrich has written many books and is a regular commentator on Fox News. I also recommend A Time for Truth by Sen. Ted Cruz who is currently a U.S. Senator for Texas. Cruz is a brilliant man with a keen legal mind.

Clear and relevant to our present national discussion.

Gingrich's title for this book has two meanings. The first is "To Save America" from the current reckless and destructive set of policies the Obama administration is cramming through Congress. Our national spending is out of control, the private sector is withering, the public sector (and all its bureaucratic costs) are exploding, and our national sovereignty is being weakened as we are becoming more subject to unelected and undemocratic international agreements and regulatory bodies. The second meaning flows from the direction Obama is taking to "fundamentally transform" the nation. Obama and Congress cannot make these transformations Constitutionally, so they simply wave their arms and ignore our nation's history, the basis of our government, and push through their Leftist agenda with wild and ridiculous claims about this or that clause in the Constitution without any regard to what was actually meant by the founders and framers of our government. They torture the words until they confess that the Feds can now make each of us buy a health insurance policy they deem proper for us. What's next? Telling us what groceries we can or can't buy so we will not incur extra health care costs? What cars we can own and when we can drive them to avoid health care costs from accidents? Gingrich lays out his arguments in 24 short and clearly written chapters. This book is the most explicit and direct argument I have seen him make about what is wrong about the Obama agenda and the direction the Progressives are moving the country. He lays out an argument about what America has been and who we are as a people and compares that to what he calls the "Secular-Socialist Machine" (and what he means by that term - don't let others define it for you - read the chapter). He also uses their clear words about what they told us and, by comparing them to the actions Obama has taken, shows them to be lies. He takes us through the disaster of ObamaCare and ACORN supported voter fraud. I especially appreciated the chapter showing why BIG BUSINESS and the Secular-Socialist Machine are natural allies rather than the enemies the Progressive rhetoric makes them out to be. Big business wants to be protected from competition and be guaranteed revenues, and that can only happen when the government is used to distort the market in their favor. You can be sure that you and I, as consumers, lose big time the stronger this unholy alliance becomes. Gingrich also takes on the way climate "science" is used to foster the agenda of the secular-socialist machine and how the corruption at the United Nations also fosters this usurpation of our liberties and national sovereignty. But this book is not just about the threat. Gingrich provides a program for turning this back. The first step is demanding an honest national conversation and using the facts to speak the truth and electing the right people who can implement that tough decisions we have to make as a nation.

What every American should know about the Obama Administration

While the mass media has been enamored with President Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress, they have been lacking in their journalistic duties by not calling into question the detrimental policies that have been passed only to endanger the future of America. However, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich takes the Obama Administration to task in his latest book, "To Save America: Stopping Obama's Secular-Socialist Machine." From the outset, Gingrich astutely explains the threats posed to individual liberties and limited government by President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. As the three leaders of the secular-socialist machine, Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are unilaterally pushing through legislation such as health care reform and government bailouts, which Gingrich and fellow experts from organizations such as the Center for Health Transformation argue will overburden taxpayers, kill jobs, and amass ineffective bureaucracy upon individuals. Gingrich breaks it down for the reader in common sense language that the Left are stripping away traditional America with its limited government, free markets, and religious principles and replacing it with big government policies favoring unions and other ideologues. Through chapters proposing policy reforms on health care, energy, green conservatism, and education, Gingrich convincingly details how America can regain its prominence in the world and how the individual can triumph over the encroachment of big government. Although to readers who may deem Gingrich a partisan conservative, he acknowledges encouraging initiatives from across the aisle. For instance, Gingrich lauds First Lady Michelle Obama for her campaign against obesity in children. If only more Democrats and Republicans could engage in such noble campaigns and reach across the aisle to legislate common sense reforms that will encourage economic growth, job creation, competitiveness in math and science education, and real health care reform. Gingrich closes by leaving it up to the reader to decide as an American citizen to get involved in elections so government works for the people not for bigger government. The American citizen can start by reading and sharing this book with everyone they know.

This is a great book for anyone who wants to save our country

To Save America by Newt Gingrich is a fantastic book laying out real solutions to our everyday problems. Each chapter does a wonderful job of laying out the problems we are facing in every day America and giving us real solutions. I was lucky enough to get an early copy and have spent most of the day reading it. Trust me this book is worth the read and you should pick up a copy for yourself to find out why.

Very Informative

While I have only read the first Chapter, which I downloaded last night from his website, I was very impressed. Within those first 30 pages Newt was doing what he does best, teach. I have been sitting on the sidelines watching the transformative policy taken by Obama, and despite going to Tea Parties, I have not felt that I can make an impact, and give direction to our movement. Newt's ability to show where change can occur and in what direction it can be moved makes me feel responsible again and it lets me have faith that this is my country. Like he did in 1994, with this book Newt shows that Republicans are not just the party of "no".
